INSPECTION
Step Action Yes No
1 1) Set parking brake.
2) Note combination meter when ignition
switch is turned to ON position.
Does the “BRAKE” indicator (warning lamp)
come ON?Go to Step 2.“BLK/YEL”, “BLK/WHT”
wire circuit or “IG METER”
fuse open or short to
ground.
2 1) Ignition switch OFF.
2) Remove and inspect “P/S” fuse.
Is fuse in good condition?Go to Step 3. Check “BLK/RED” wire
circuit for short to ground.
If OK, replace “P/S” fuse.
3 1) With ignition switch OFF, reinstall fuse and
disconnect P/S control module connector
(“G24”).
2) Check proper connection to P/S control
module at “G24-1” terminal.
3) If OK, check voltage between “G24-1”
(“BLK/RED” wire) terminal and body ground
with ignition switch ON.
Is it 10 – 14 V?Go to Step 4.“BLK/RED” wire circuit
open or short to ground.
4 1) Check proper connection to P/S control
module at “G24-8” terminal.
2) If OK, check voltage between “G24-8”
(“BLK/WHT” wire) terminal and body ground
with ignition switch ON.
Is it 10 – 14 V?Go to Step 5.“BLK/WHT” wire circuit
open or short to ground.
5 1) Check proper connection to P/S control
module at “G24-5” terminal.
2) If OK, check voltage between “G24-5”
(“YEL” wire) terminal and body ground with
ignition switch ON.
Is it 10 – 14 V?Substitute a known-good
P/S control module and
recheck.Go to Step 6.
6 1) Remove combination meter. Refer to “COM-
BINATION METER” in Section 8.
2) Remove and inspect “EPS” light bulb.
Is bulb in good condition?“YEL”, “BLK/WHT” wire
circuit or inside of combi-
nation meter open or
short to other circuit.Check “YEL” wire circuit
for short to ground.
If OK, replace “EPS” light
bulb.

1Was “SYSTEM CHECK FLOW TABLE” performed? Go to STEP 2. Go to “SYSTEM
CHECK FLOW TABLE”.
2 1) Ignition switch OFF.
2) Remove steering column lower cover.
3) Disconnect 8-terminals connector (“G24”) from
P/S control module.
4) Check proper connection to P/S control module
at “G24-7” (“PPL” wire) terminal.
5) If OK, connect voltmeter between “G24-7”
(“PPL” wire) terminal and body ground with con-
nector (“G24”) connected.
6) Hoist rear end of vehicle and lock rear right tire.
7) Turn rear left tire quickly with ignition switch ON.
Does voltmeter indicate deflection between 0 – 1 V
and 9 – 11 V a few times while tire is turned one
revolution?Check intermittent trou-
ble. Refer to “INTER-
MITTENT TROUBLE”
in SECTION 0A.
If OK, substitute a
known-good P/S control
module and recheck.Repair VSS or its (“PPL”
wire) circuit.
